Portfolio submission

FeedbackCandidates• Enjoyed the experience of collating

their evidence in one place• Liked the opportunity to make it

“more real” • Could see the benefit of using the

platform for formative feedback but need more support on how to do this

Programme Leader• Found it easy to track candidates

progression• Would like to use the formative

feedback functionality but needs more support and guidance

• Pleased that the uploading of evidence is now no longer required so a much easier submission process

Operations• There is now one less step in the processing of the PDQ portfolios which is a

huge efficiency gain
